At this stage, any panel would need to connect either to the HDMI or VGA port. Although there is a dedicated TFT connector on the board it's not currently available for use. Foundation hopes to sell/promote a tested TFT once all tht other stuff is done!

If you just want to use a display without all of the challenge of getting a display to work from the various pins, you might want to search around for small displays that take either composite or HDMI inputs. Adafruit.com has several displays that take composite. I have a MP4 player from JXD that is fairly small and does video input that I've been meaning to use when I get to the r-pi.

I have started a project writing framebuffer drivers for small TFT LCDs. I have written a helper module that greatly simplifies writing such a driver. That is if the display is RGB565 and uses SPI. I have ordered two more modules that I will try and make drivers for:* Nokia 5110/3310 monochrome LCD: http://adafruit.com/category/63 (challenge: monochrome, 1 bit per pixel)* ITDB02-2.8: http://imall.iteadstudio.com/display/tf ... 19009.html (challenge: parallel databus, no SPI)
